Paper accepted at NSDI’26

 Our work, accepted at Usenix NSDI 2026, reveals that where you store a packet matters. We show that smart payload placement can drastically cut energy use in terabit-scale NF systems. By tapping into switch buffer queues, we build the first energy-efficient, high-speed packet pipeline—delivering per-flow processing at terabit-per-second rates using just one commodity server and an ASIC switch.
